Just a suggestion. Maybe you could draw Joe hugging his teammates in The Old Guard, and their different reactions to it.

A warm early evening in a garden somewhere. Nicky giving Nile her first lessons in how to swordfight, walking her through the steps one by one. There are a lot of beginner’s mistakes, a lot of laughter. Joe sits on a bench nearby in the sun with a beer and just watches, burning up with love for his husband, enchanted by the grace and ease with which Nicky moves. It’s so rare he gets to witness Nicky fighting. So often, they’re fighting together. There’s never time just to sit back and gaze.

Feeling mischievous, he queries some small part of Nicky’s training. As Nile grins from ear to ear, Nicky coolly invites his husband to get over here and demonstrate, if he thinks he knows better.

They’re perfectly matched, strike for strike. Within a few minutes, Joe forgets that Nile is even there. Fighting Nicky is far too much like fucking Nicky–the restless flashing of his eyes, the twisting of his body, the way he pants with concentration. It’s extremely distracting. In the end, it’s so hard for Joe to focus that he completely forgets the edge of the garden path, trips over it and ends up dumped into the grass.

Amused, Nicky stands over him. He lifts his husband’s chin with the point of the training sword.

“This is why I’m giving the lesson,” he says, eyeing Joe along the length of the blade. His tone says, you are bad. His eyes say, I want you this instant. “Now please behave yourself. You might learn something.”

Joe’s heart gives a wild and dizzy flip. “Marry me.”
